Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we shall be doing here is substituting f(x) into g(x).

Mathematically, that would be written as g(f(x))

= 2(4x-3)-1 = 8x -6 -1 = 8x - 7

Now we shall find g(f(2)) by substituting 2 into the expression above.

Mathematically, that would be 8(2) -7 = 16-7 = 9

find the point-slope equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=2x+5 passing through the point (1,4). (please include solu

pishuonlain [190]

First off, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm so what's the slope of y = 2x + 5?

well, notice, that equation is in slope-intercept form, thus $\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{2}x+5$ .

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{2\implies \stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}}$

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and runs through 1,4.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad \qquad \qquad 
slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x-1)$

What is the best estimate for 591.3 divided by 29

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

about 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers round to 600/30 = 20, which is a reasonable estimate.

You can refine this by doing the next step of long division:

29×20 = 580

Subtracting this from 591.3 give 11.3, so the fraction is ...

11.3/29 ≈ 10/30 = 1/3

A better estimate is 20 1/3.
